Could the bassinet mattress be used in the bottom of the play yard to make this a travel crib for an older baby?

Yes it could. What i did was go to a local store and buy the extra mattress pad and cut it to size to add more cushioning. That way it's not too hard for your baby.

YesI own this exact model and it can be used at the bottom but it is very small. My baby will be 6 months and I feel this is too small for her to play in. I ended up purchasing a larger pack n play as well. Although, as a cosleeper next to the bed it is the best!

Yes it can. But the crib itself is not that big. It's not exactly easy to go from the bassinet to the play yard.

I used it in both the bassinet and the bottom of the play yard. Of course it does add some height, so as soon as baby starts to roll, I would start using it in the bottom part only. I even used my sleep sense infant movement monitor under this mattress with absolutely no problems.

Remember there is a weight limit on the bassinet. The mattress will take away from that 15 lb. weight limit on our Baby Trend Playard "Scooter". I would never take that chance.

we were able to use the bassinet on top with the second seat on bottom, but the bassinet was too long to fit on bottom

It really depends on the size of the child, but generally it can be used from birth through toddler age. The bassinet portion can be used up to 16 pounds, then the child will move to the lower portion.

Yes. Although my daughter-in-law will have a bassinet upstairs in the nursery, she plans on using the Pack 'N Play downstairs during the day.

Yes. Also the hard feet are below the bottom of the bassinet, so if placed on a hard surface there is a space underneath and the baby is suspended by an inch or so anyway. Hope that makes sense.

Yes. The mattress height can be adjusted midway in the crib for a younger baby or lower down as pictured for an older baby/toddler.

You sure can. I had it right next to my bed. It takes up little space. I like the fact that it has a slight incline so the baby is not completely flat.

I suppose it could be used as a cosleeper, but it's soft all around (i.e. you can't pick it up with baby in it, the bottom would likely collapse), and the sides would squish in if you were sleeping next to it and happened to press against it (which would make it smaller).

It would not be worth it. The bed is not that high. I would just put the mattress on the floor until your baby is ready for a bed.

You can use it with a convertable crib that you have changed to the toddler bed mode, but not as it is still in crib mode. The rail has hinges that stick out on the side of the mattress so the walls of the crib would get in the way of those.

I used the mattress in an antique bassinet that was in the family. It fir just fine for that. I would be concerned about the fit if the baby was old enough to roll around, for a new born it worked fine. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it, but I would guess you could since the pad( the trifold padded board) that normally goes in the bottom moves to the top for the bassinet and is the same size as the mattress. I don't know if it would be safe though, since you would be raising the height by three inches.

Depends on a few things. 1: DO NOT use the diaper changing area as a bassinet. It is not designed for that and would not be a good idea. 2. If you are referring to the area the child lays on then it depends on the height of your bed. For a bed that is 3-4 feet off the ground there will be no problem since the 1st level sits pretty high up. Lower than 3 feet and you will have to get up and reach down a little more. Good luck and congratulations!

We have a similar pack n play from Graco with the bassinet and yes I think it would work fine. I put my little one down for naps in it. I use a sleep positioner wedge to keep her in place in it and to make it cozier. Ours came with a diaper changing area too which is so handy!

Yes if it is deflated and you add the mattress pad and crib sheet. I learned about this from a friend who was traveling from NYC to London. We drag ours all over the town to different relatives. Sometimes we even deflate it! :>)
